April 10, 2021Super fun and unique place to explore. I enjoyed walking the paved road and learning about the dinosaurs/rocks then heading up the Dakota Ridge trails for more of a hike!
April 9, 2021Great vibes
April 7, 2021Awesome! Wish I had realized this was a combination of trails earlier (my own fault!). But once you get onto the actual trail, it's truly gorgeous with some incredible views.
April 5, 2021nice little Trail to explore near Denver. Lots of mountain bikers and you're on a paved Road for part of it. But the ridge itself is pretty and there's good views of Red Rocks.
April 4, 2021Good trails, even the designated “difficult” parts were pretty easy
April 3, 2021There needs to be signs because easy to get off trail and need hiking boots. Very pretty view of Red Rocks
April 3, 2021Paved on main road and dirt trail for the ridges the beach off. The trail takes you on the Dakota Ridge which I did not know so did not comeplete the whole trail. Think twice about doing the ridges section of your afraid of heights/dropoffs. Got to see dinosaur prints so that was still cool. Recommend coming before 9:15am at the lastest.
April 2, 2021Very dry, little snowy patch towards the end. Not crowded early but started passing a lot of people on the way back. Pretty views of Morrison and red rocks
March 31, 2021Perfect weather. The end is snowy and muddy. Need some extra traction.
March 29, 2021Well traveled, lots of great views, and the dinosaur tracks are really cool. Pretty snowy and icy for the last hundred yards or so, but otherwise easy to hike.
March 28, 2021Nice day, a little overcast but still beautiful.
March 28, 2021Great hike with Dinosaur tracks along the wall in. The ending was very snowy and muddy.
March 27, 2021Nice moderate trail other that the noise from the highway, not muddy today only some small portion of the trail has some snow near the end
March 27, 2021March 27, 20213/27/21 Great go to for an easy hike close to Denver. Decent views. The first/last 0.7 miles are on a paved road before you get to Dakota Ridge Trail. Not too many people starting at 8 on a Saturday.
March 26, 2021Very cool from a geological standpoint, but the hiking itself is a little too close to a major roadway for my taste.

March 6, 2021March 5, 2021March 2, 2021Loved it very relaxing
March 2, 2021Great views! Decent trail but mostly in concrete so doesn’t feel like hike.
